No personally identifiable information from education records shall be disclosed by any means to individuals or agencies outside the school without the consent of the student in writing, except pursuant to lawful subpoena or court order, or except in the case of specifically-designated educational and government officials as required by law.

A “school official” is a person employed by the College in a faculty, administrative or staff position, or a contractor or other party to whom the College has outsourced institutional services. A school official has a “legitimate educational interest” if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

• Name • City of Residence • Major • Student Activities, including Athletics • Dates of Enrollment • Date of Graduation • Degree and Awards Received • Honors • Most Recent Educational Institution Attended Prior to Admission • Photos • Classification

The student is entitled to request that this information not be made publicly available; such a request must be made in writing to the Office of Records and Registration. This request shall be effective only with respect to directory information not prepared for release at the time the request is received by the Office of Records and Registration. Such a request remains effective until revoked by the student.
